I recently 'sold' 1999 ts tdi se on ebay it was 2 owner owned by office worker absolutly mint in and out it made £780 on ebay when the 'buyer' turned up he complained the radio didnt work (though cd multichanger did) he wanted £30 off the price told him to p*** off scrapped it instead

the description seems fine to me, It's subjective.

If they turn up and it's not as described they don't have to pay for it. And that includes not pointing out obvious things.

sounds like a BIG money pit to me

 

[11redrex]

why does it sound like a money pit ? Because it's got a small oil leak and the side steps rattle?

For what it's worth, go with Colins points :thumb2
Change the 10 day auction, it's pointless as you're already starting at 999
5 day auction start 99p
Loads of pics less chat
Other wise you might as well do a classified.
You need a few people interested if you want to make some bucks :naughty
be prepared to do a deal off ebay hence contact details.

Knocked it down to the very basics. My number's on there if anyone wants to look at it before bidding.

Sounds much better now just add a dozen pics so you dont get any come back on condition and remember to take seatcovers off first always amazes me how many people list a car with seat covers on:doh

NOPE, take the bit about hoping to get 1500 quid for it out :doh people will just think you want too much and wont bother bidding at all.
PICS PICS PICS as Zippy would say.
Auctions too long and too high a start price, you need people bidding regardless of how small it starts .
Auction should finish on thurs ideally, pay day.
Then time to sort collection on the weekend :sly

I'm in agreement about telling the truth, but I also agree with CNC and MakeIt. When buying a used car, one should always, I mean ALWAYS expect something to not be right in some way, be it the radio, worn seat bolster, drip of oil etc. End of the day, its an old car, and isnt new, and its sold as such. If someone comes along, buys your car, notices the oil leak, then tough titty. Buying cars is different from buying anything else on ebay, because youre buying a complex bit of machinary, with 1000's of parts etc etc, so going into too much detail over the negatives on cars like these, is counter productive. I wouldnt buy any 4x4 and expect it to be mint, or even close to mint, unelss it was new.

Although, personally, I like an advert with penty in it, especially when the seller is wanting over a grand. I'd expect pics, lots of them, plenty of positives, such as your various new parts (nothing wrong with that, its a good thing), them tyres, its drives good etc etc, but the negs put me off. As makeitfit says, id be put off after the first sentance and move on...

Good idea re working it, but get some pics up, maybe add a bit more into the advert as you are wanting over a grand. Mention the oil leak if you want, but thats a serious scaremongerer! If its leaking, but not giving you any trouble now, then you are ok to not mention it.

best of luck fella, I hope you get what you are asking.:thumb2

Just had a quick spy on fleabay, now your listing is too short. Completed listings shows at best you'll get 1000 and I dont think yours is as good as the one that sold.
Season's gone it seems so more like 7/800 tops on ebay evidence
Wasn't there somone on here wanting one a few days back

this is it, the promise of snow is no more, and we never had anything like in previous years, back then, people were snapping them up.

Had several enquiries locally but no-one has actually come to see it yet.

Work on them mate, but enquirers and buyers are quite different. Get some offers going, and remember that what ever offer one of them gives, you've already had a better offer thanks :thumbs:naughty
